I remember a TV series, I think in the seventies, based on a book called "1990". With Edward Woodward in the lead roll as an investigative journalist.
Where the state had the "Public Control Department" and the "Authorised Systematic Harassment" project to deal with dissent: The slow removal of everything that made life bearable. The daily brown envelope through the door that removed benefits and privileges, drip by drip. Your job, health services, school allocation, where you had to live etc. If you stepped out of line....
We walk that road at our peril.
